Twitterati disappointed over The Batman not receiving Best Score and Best Cinematography nominations for the Oscars 2023

The three nominations, entailing Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, put the superhero movie based on DC Comics in direct and fierce competition with other massive hits, including Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

However, soon after the nominations were announced, unhappy fans took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with The Batman getting only three nominations for the Oscars 2023. Several netizens also wrote that they truly believe the movie deserved more recognition for its remarkable cinematography and score.
